In My Shadow
iOS, (Alcon Interactive)
In My Shadow, which tells the tale of a woman who nostalgically remembers her childhood dog, the action is of the platform-hopping sort, with the twist that it all happens in silhouette.
To view your hound in each of its levels, you must collect memories that look like pages while navigating perilous spikes. To get there, you have to manipulate the foreground items in a 3D view so that their shadows meet, allowing you to hop across.
In this inventive, wonderfully challenging, and unabashedly heartwarming game, spinning blades, moving spikes, shadows you can only jump on once, and a litany of other mechanisms soon complicate your quest.
